I hope they've got a better, more "funky" bed for the announcer at the TOTH, I would guess there not using the orchestral one from Monday?


Completly new music package, not sure quite on the release. Very dancey, and no orchestra. Only in some of the stings. Wink

I've said enough for now Surprised its very different though as I have already said.


It's like being in a nightclub. It sounds really good from what I've heard (really low quality files which I won't be distributing) - you won't be disappointed.


I've only played them to two for three people and they are already getting around...Tuh!

Music is great though ... they have remixed Bed 1 over this rather dance like beat Surprised

I noticed there is a special programme on Sunday evening about the McGann's....is this to allow some of the changes to take place?

I'm sure a smiliar thing has happened in the past where a pre-recorded programme is put out whilst changes are made.

Don't worry, they have the basics down. It's the same with every relaunch, they'll be working right up til the end. We saw it in 2005 with the last minute change of the globe, and no doubt there will be similar stuff happening now. VOs and the such like have been done I'm told, and I'm inclined to believe this as Tamsin roberts (overnight) now has one.

As for the weekend schedule, here it is.

6:00 - Sky news Sunrise with Mark Longhurst.
Gillian Joseph - newsbreaks.

10:00 Sky News Saturday/Sunday Live with Chris Roberts/Adam Boulton.
Probably with Andrew Wilson on newsbreaks.

12:00 - Sky News Weekend Lunchtime Live with Andrew Wilson.
Strange name for a program given that the weekday edition is no more. Why not call it 'Lunchtime Live'?
Chris Roberts - newsbreaks?

14:00 - Sky News every 15 minutes with Chris Roberts.

17:00 - Sky News Live at Five with Andrew Wilson.

19:00 - Sky News at Seven with Steve Dixon.
19:30 - Sportsline.

20:00 - Sky News every 15 minutes with Steve Dixon.

22:00 - Sky News at Ten with Steve Dixon.

22:30 - Sportsline.

23:00 - Sky News Tonight with Steve Dixon.

Its funny that they have basicly brought back the Appointment To View style!

Indeed the basics are down, its just the music/graphics/other technical aspects that are being worked on still.
